Abstract (en)

[origin: US2003210061A1] A mud resistivity measuring device for use in a borehole includes a pair of current electrodes disposed between a pair of guard electrodes. The measure electrodes are carried on a recessed portion of a logging tool so that the measure current flows substantially along the borehole axis and is relatively insensitive to the formation resistivity. A pair of measure electrodes on the logging tool determines a voltage difference caused by the current flow in the borehole.
